Express optional parameters in both JS and JSDoc TS syntax

We should not just rely on the type declarations to express optionality. Types are often textually distant. The optionality of a function is an essential part of its non-formal meaning. JS has its own syntax for optional parameters. We should use that.

Ideally, we'd have a lint rule that checks that optionality declared in types agrees with optionality declared in the function. In the meantime, we should enforce that consistency by review.

/**
 * @param {int} p
 */
const f = p => ...; // good

/**
 * @param {int} [p] Our preferred jsdoc/ts optionality syntax
 */
const f = (p = whatever) => ...; // good

/**
 * @param {int} [p]
 */
const f = p => ...; // bad

/**
 * @param {int} p
 */
const f = (p = whatever) => ...; // bad
